Autonomous Monitoring

In autonomous mode, the sensor is configured before deployment, and once deployed, operates independently.

Set-up​

Choose anb_utils menu option 1. Measurement Settings to configure your sensor into autonomous monitoring mode.

Autonomous Mode Operation​

In autonomous mode, the sensor operates independently, following a pre-set measurement routine. Key details about this mode:

  • Disabled Communications: All major communication functions to the sensor are disabled in this mode.
  • Automatic Start: The sensor begins its pre-set scan routine immediately upon power-up.
  • Audio Signals:
    • On power-up, the sensor emits a single beep.
    • 1–3 seconds later, it emits three additional beeps to confirm it has started operating.
  • Streaming pH Data: When the sensor is connected to a terminal interface via an appropriate program, it streams live pH data.

Accessing Functions in Autonomous Mode​

To access the sensor’s full menu functions or reconfigure its operation:

  • Access the Full Menu:
    • Open the anb_utils application while the sensor is switched on.
    • This action stops the current scan routine and allows for reconfiguration.
  • Returning to Autonomous Mode:
    • Either repower the sensor, or
    • Send a reboot command from the Command Line Prompt.
    • The sensor then restarts its pre-set measurement routine.
tip

If you lose communication to the sensor open the anb_utils application, turn on the sensor, wait for the start-up beeps and then select your com port
